    Hello #HackLearning Christine, ele tchr from Massachusetts 😊 Happy Sunday to you all 😊
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:36 AM EST
    A1: In the book, we talk about voices and choices. Students can offer options that build buy-in and engagement if teachers are open to receiving them. (And acting on them!) #HackLearning
  • docvs1 Feb 17 @ 8:36 AM EST
    when they are more involved they own their learning and can reach flow. passion projects, letting them know you are interested, weaving their interests into lessons #HackLearning
  • CoachJonCraig Feb 17 @ 8:36 AM EST
    A1: Can't praise the benefits of #geniushour enough when trying to peak student interest. Think of how many mini-lessons can be embedded within projects like those?? #hacklearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:36 AM EST
    Donna in Singapore. Middle School English teacher by day & academic by night... #hacklearning
  • SylviaEllison Feb 17 @ 8:36 AM EST
    A1 I asked my students their interests to pull passages to read ... when teaching reading skills any passage will do so why not try one they are interested in? Makes the work more independent (rigorous) too because they can’t copy 😜 #HackLearning
  • DebbiSab Feb 17 @ 8:37 AM EST
    A1. As with all things, it starts with relationships. Get to know your kids, build relationships with them. Then give them choice in their lessons & assessments. #hacklearning

    Flow states are “Toward” states which lean students into the learning. Changes the language of engagement to what is compelling! #HackLearning
    In reply to @docvs1
  • whiteeducator Feb 17 @ 8:37 AM EST
    A1: We first need to know students’ interests and passions. This can’t just be a beginning of the year survey or activity. This needs to be a priority and continue throughout the school year. #HackLearning
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    #Amen #HackLearning
    In reply to @DebbiSab
  • PrincipalFrench Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    A1) Students' interests and passions could be incorporated into the curriculum, lessons, projects, genius hour time, etc. Make learning about the students. #HackLearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    A1. Surround your Ss with passionate people. Call in guest speakers & show your class videos of people doing what they love. Even if a student isn’t particularly interested in the topic, he will appreciate the enthusiasm & see that it’s OK to express it openly. #hacklearning
  • Nunez_TenaflyPS Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    Good morning #Hacklearning Freddy, Supervisor from NJ here! First time on this discussion.
  • DennisDill Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    using student interests/passions in learning activities is dependent on the class ... My tech class is easy to link to what the kids want to do ... my US History class is not quite so free. #hacklearning
  • AlbertsonsClass Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    A1: Take time to build relationships. Know what Ss like & find ways to include them. Genius Hour projects & student choice are great ways to start. #HackLearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    A1. The power of interdisciplinary learning should not be underestimated. The best way to help reinforce a student’s passion is to show them that it can be applied to & enriched by multiple subjects. #hacklearning
  • MrU_ishere Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
    I'm going to back up the train on Q1 and say that sometimes the most important thing I can do is offer diverse experiences in order to provoke unknown passions. Too many Ss ( #elemed ) are experience-limited. Need to help them with that. #hacklearning
  • MatthewXJoseph Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    A1: I believe students need to feel what they are being taught has a purpose in their lives: Increasing Relevance in Learning #HackLearning https://t.co/CAfBzwaWIX

  • ifireup Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    A1: Relationships first, build on Ss interests. Share your interests with Ss too! I appreciate Ts who connect my own child's interests, it really matters! #hacklearning
  • brianrozinsky Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    What if I reboot Q1: How can students use their interests & passions to support their learning? Corollary: How might we in our roles facilitate students' capacities to make connections betw learning objectives & what matters to them, in service of all of the above? #hacklearning
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    Discovery and Exploration can well lead into passion for learning! #HackLearning
    In reply to @MrU_ishere
  • 3_DLeadership Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    I was reflecting on this too. Thank you for articulating it #hacklearning
    In reply to @MrU_ishere
  • carlameyrink Feb 17 @ 8:39 AM EST
    A1: PBL is a great way to follow Ss interests. Have any of you read Soundings by Mark Springer? An amazing example of tailoring the curriculum to Ss passions and questions #HackLearning

    Yes! #hacklearning

  • SylviaEllison Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    Yes! And in a previous #HackLearning chat I remember someone suggesting that we schedule these for the year so that we don’t allow them to only exist in the beginning of the year ☺️
    • whiteeducator Feb 17 @ 8:37 AM EST
      A1: We first need to know students’ interests and passions. This can’t just be a beginning of the year survey or activity. This needs to be a priority and continue throughout the school year. #HackLearning
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    Perhaps even invite students into the goal-setting process? #HackLearning
    In reply to @brianrozinsky
  • DebbiSab Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    Absolutely! Building a relationship takes time! #HackLearning
    • whiteeducator Feb 17 @ 8:37 AM EST
      A1: We first need to know students’ interests and passions. This can’t just be a beginning of the year survey or activity. This needs to be a priority and continue throughout the school year. #HackLearning
  • conniehamilton - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    Don't we want students to find their passions beyond the classroom? Seems like we would bring their passions into the classroom to do so. #HackLearning
  • PrincipalFrench Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    I love that you're helping students discover their passions! #HackLearning
    • MrU_ishere Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
      I'm going to back up the train on Q1 and say that sometimes the most important thing I can do is offer diverse experiences in order to provoke unknown passions. Too many Ss ( #elemed ) are experience-limited. Need to help them with that. #hacklearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    A1. Understand what passion means for different Ss. Some may have no trouble understanding what passion is, others may feel uncomfortable with the concept. Recognize that some Ss have passionate parents & others may have been discouraged to show such expression. #hacklearning
  • DennisDill Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    relationships are key ... heck ... without the relationship they won't even want to be in your class. #hacklearning
    In reply to @DebbiSab
  • SylviaEllison Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
    Yes! I like using their interests to create analogies for the skills/concepts I need them to understand #HackLearning
    In reply to @PrincipalFrench
  • hackmylearning - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    Q2 is coming up next. #HackLearning
  • DrJacieMaslyk Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    A1) Learning in a #makerspace, implementing Passion Projects Or #geniushour are a great way to build on student interests! #HackLearning
  • whiteeducator Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    A1: #UDL is all about student engagement, representation, and action and expression, and giving students’ choice in those areas! Visit @CAST_UDL for more info and examples, and follow @KatieNovakUDL and @ElizabethLStein! #HackLearning
  • carlameyrink Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    Yes! In order to create life long learners we have to support Ss as they take charge of their learning. #HackLearning
    In reply to @fisher1000, @brianrozinsky
  • JoveStickel Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    A1 we need to leverage their passions and interests into opportunities to connect with them and help personalize their learning #hacklearning
  • DebbiSab Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    You know it Dennis! It's up to us to make it happen. #HackLearning
    • DennisDill Feb 17 @ 8:40 AM EST
      relationships are key ... heck ... without the relationship they won't even want to be in your class. #hacklearning
      In reply to @DebbiSab
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    A1. Ts who understand the power of Ss' passions as well as those who simply are concerned about making Ss’ lives as stress-free as possible will explore how each learner’s fascinations & areas of interest might be used in times of crisis, stress, & difficulty. #hacklearning
  • brianrozinsky Feb 17 @ 8:41 AM EST
    Of course: Set goals *with* students, rather than *for* them. #hacklearning Prepositions matter.™

    Great point and way to increase student voice #HackLearning
    In reply to @fisher1000, @brianrozinsky
  • mrshowell24 Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    A1- By using what they like to add prior knowledge to a topic and allowing ss to use their passions to engage and empower them. #hacklearning
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    Q2: How can we support innovation in student experiences and products? #HackLearning
  • PassionateEDU Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    A1: It is super important that Ss have voice and choice when it comes to their learning. For instance, when Ss get to develop projects with tech or choose to make an art piece instead- their passions are evident! #hacklearning
  • ChristineBemis2 Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    A1~classrooms should be filled with #positivity, praise, tools/resources, staff that represent the diversity of our classrooms & Ss interests, passions should a part of, not add on of all learning experiences #HackLearning
  • MrU_ishere Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    Q1. Conversation & saying YES to uncertain, nebulous project ideas & allowing them to stumble thru trying to find their direction & voice is important. It's HARD, though. Time constraints are real and need consideration. Delicate balance betw prompting & pushing. #hacklearning
  • ifireup Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
  • conniehamilton - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:42 AM EST
    I knew prepositions were my favorite part of speech for a reason. #HackLearning

      In reply to @fisher1000
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    A2: As in Q1, student voices matter so much! Out loud creativity and zero parameters on thinking matter very much. Perhaps try going a week without saying “no.” Everything on the table. All of the “what-ifs” none of the “buts” or “maybes!” #HackLearning
  • Dr_LMR Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    A1 Bringing in their passions and interests help make connections and makes it relevant. Also sparks curiosity for other Ss passions/interests. #HackLearning
  • brianrozinsky Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    Connections are cool. #hacklearning
    • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:38 AM EST
      A1. The power of interdisciplinary learning should not be underestimated. The best way to help reinforce a student’s passion is to show them that it can be applied to & enriched by multiple subjects. #hacklearning
  • docvs1 Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    passion projects, lots of choice and voice #hacklearning
  • DebbiSab Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    A2 Ok you have to go to their games, plays, showcases and anyplace that they get to display their work and you must then talk about it with them next time you see them... #HackLearning
  • carlameyrink Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    Agree. Our makerspace (an outdoor "messy" area with lots of tools and materials) has become the hub of our school. Ss come early, stay late, & spend every free moment there. #HackLearning

  • mexusmx Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    John from Mexico City hoping to phrase better late than never applies in the #hacklearning universe!
  • BenBo370 Feb 17 @ 8:43 AM EST
    A1. At risk of sounding overly critical, it's pretty tough to get students to be passionate or even interested when curriculum is set from on high and is not responsive to S interest or, God forbid, driven by it. #hacklearning

    ✨❤️🧡 #hacklearning
    In reply to @ChristineBemis2
  • 3_DLeadership Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    A2: I’m not a fan of the “innovation” word because too often is a euphemism for creativity. We need to support creativity. Until something is assessed as impactful AND transferable, it can’t be innovative #hacklearning
    In reply to @fisher1000
  • hackmylearning - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    We are chatting live with #HackLearning author @fisher1000 Jump in - we just started Q2.
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    Absolutely. This is root level developing relationships and making kids understand that you care about their world, not just their learning! #HackLearning
    In reply to @DebbiSab
  • CoachJonCraig Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    And time well spent! #HackLearning
    In reply to @DebbiSab
  • PrincipalFrench Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    A2) We can support teachers, who support students, with their ideas through time, resources, professional development, collaboration. #HackLearning
  • BenBo370 Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    A2. First, I think we would need to define innovation. I'm not really sure any of us (classroom teachers) are truly innovative, nor am I sure that Ss can be innovative within the structures we lay out. #hacklearning
  • mexusmx Feb 17 @ 8:44 AM EST
    A1: Let them tell and write their stories. Respect and be curious about what happens to them when they step outside your door! #hacklearning
  • MatthewXJoseph Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    A2: I think by Moving from Consumption to Creation #HackLearning https://t.co/mvLF6qo6Wg
  • SylviaEllison Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    A2 we must PLAN for it ... find the time in the schedule / curriculum / standards to change sit’n’get to experience / hands-on learning that allows them to construct learning - easier to say than do 🤯 #HackLearning

  • DennisDill Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    learning is about creating opportunity for the kids ... they need the opportunity to do things beyond working through problems from the book ... stuff that actually stretches their thinking. #hacklearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    A1. Understand where a S’s passion comes from. For some, it may be a way to hide from -ve events at home/school. For others, it may be a way to please a parent/connect with friends. Wherever it comes from, understanding its origin helps Ts direct its growth. #hacklearning
  • DebbiSab Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    Yup! #HackLearning
  • conniehamilton - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:45 AM EST
    Does this fit for you? #HackLearning
    In reply to @3_DLeadership, @fisher1000
  • fisher1000 Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    Both innovation and creativity come from places of deep thinking and doing something different than anyone has thought to do it before. I’m a HUGE fan of innovation! But not necessarily a lexiphanicist… #HackLearning ;-)
    In reply to @3_DLeadership
  • ChristineBemis2 Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    💯 ~ spot on! #hacklearning
  • whiteeducator Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    A2: We need to take risks, and be open to change and feedback. Oftentimes, students are more easy going and open to new things compared to adults. Be flexible! #HackLearning
  • carlameyrink Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    It's interesting to have Ss spend time coming up with all kinds of questions they have about life & the world, & then work with them to tie them into the curriculum. Suddenly the curriculum becomes a living document that's meaningful to them. #HackLearning
    In reply to @BenBo370
  • DennisDill Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    We can say "support teachers" but before we can "support" we have to have teachers who will willing step out and do ... buying the equipment for them won't make them want to use it. #hacklearning

  • 3_DLeadership Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    Not really. Again, doing something new isn’t innovative; you are literally creating something new. I would bestow innovation on something that works, and changes the game. #hacklearning
    In reply to @conniehamilton, @fisher1000
  • JoveStickel Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    A2 we model innovation ourselves, we facilitate students asking questions that lead to discovery and creation. We celebrate innovation and risk taking #hacklearning
  • mexusmx Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    A2: help Ts understand and embrace this change which may seem unwieldy. #hacklearning
  • dmvelliaris Feb 17 @ 8:46 AM EST
    A2. Let Ss share their passions. It is important to let Ss pursue their passions individually, but it is equally important to let them share their passions with others. In the absence of feedback or judgment, the act of sharing something is personally fulfilling. #hacklearning

    This isn't overly critical. One of my major criticisms of PD is that's is usually about what someone thinks I need rather than what I actually need because no one's bothered to ask me. The same is true for student learning: we've got to ask them + not assume. #HackLearning

  • ifireup Feb 17 @ 8:47 AM EST
    A2: Attend their events..plays, sports, clubs, etc. Allow S choice in class! Take risks yourself! Let students LEAD! A K student once taught the computer class for a sub, she was grateful. Why not?! ❤️✨ #hacklearning
  • 3_DLeadership Feb 17 @ 8:47 AM EST
    So often people come to our campus with the latest “innovation” but can not articulate the results that make it innovative. They call it a game changer, but in practice it’s not. #hacklearning
  • MrU_ishere Feb 17 @ 8:47 AM EST
    Conversation and YES, again. "How would you have done differently?" "What changes would you want in the next version of__?" "What if___?" My #elemed Ss don't know that they are supposed to challenge & change the world around them. They see and accept. #hacklearning
